6:00Welcome Back, I'm Brett Baer. It is now 6:00 here in Washington, and the polls have now closed in two states, Indiana and Kentucky. In Indiana the Republicans had hoped that with all the missteps the Democrats had taken in the past two years, that they could give Evan Bayh a truely competitive race, but it appears unlikely if pre-election polling is correct, that he will lose tonight. In Kentucky, Dr. Rand Paul an eye surgeon and son of Representative and Frmr. Presidential Candidate Ron Paul is running against Lt. Governor Daniel Mongardio. It is widely expected if polling is accurate, that he will win in that race by a comfortable margin.

6:25 Kirsten PowersAt 6:25 Fox News can now project Evan Bayh as the winner in Indiana. Despite only 30% of the vote in, traditionally Democratic areas of the state have given him a higher percentage of the vote than necessary for the race to remain uncalled.

6:40Kirsten PowersFox News can now project that Dr. Rand Paul is the winner of the Senatorial Race to succeed Jim Bunning in Kentucky. With a 55 to 42 margin of victory at the moment, he will join his father, Dr. Ron Paul in Congress tonight if he is reelected as is widely predicted.

Brett Baer It is now 7:30 in the East, and the polls have closed in two more states, North Carolina and Ohio.

Kirsten PowersIn Ohio Rob Portman has an early lead according to indications, but it is still possible for a Lee Fisher victory tonight.

In North Carolina, Richard Burr had faced surprisingly low reelection numbers this year, and it remains to be seen if Democrat challenger Cal Cunningham can pull off a win in what all indications have indicated to be a Republican favored election cycle. Currently this race is too close to call for a declaration of a win for either candidate. It should be noted that history is on Cal Cunningham's side as no incumbent in the North Carolina race has been reelected since Sam Ervin won in 1968.

Kirsten PowersAt 8:00 in the east polls have closed in 9 states, Alabama, Delaware, Illinois, Connecticut, Missouri, New Hampshire, Maryland, Florida, and Pennsylvania. At this moment we can declare Richard Shelby the winner in Alabama. Shelby only faced nominal opposition, and if projections hold, he should win reelection with about 65% of the vote.

In Maryland, Barbara Mikulski has been declared the winner. Mikulski is predicted to win with over 60%.

Peter Schiff defeats Chris Dodd

Brett Baer It is now 8:15, and it can now be projected by Fox News that Republican Peter Schiff in the state of Conneticut has defeated incumbent Senator Chris Dodd. Although it seemed as though Dodd might have a glimmer of hope of surviving reelection through improving approval numbers, Schiff produced a number of hard-hitting savy political ads that brought back to light the number of scandals surrounding Chris Dodd. Early numbers showing a 58-40 Schiff lead. Schiff is the first Republican pickup of the evening.

Republicans pickup Delaware

As the North Carolina race continues to be too close to call, Fox News now has sizable information to project at 8:23 that Republican Mike Castle has won in Delaware. This is an especially bad loss for the Democrats not only due to the Vice President serving in this seat when in Senate, but because his son is losing by a landslide margin, 60-37. Castle a popular figure and longstanding presence in Delaware politics, managed to overcome the family connections of Beau Biden, another popular Delaware politician, who unfortunately found himself with a series of campaign missteps. Delaware is the second Republican pickup of the evening.

Kirsten PowersThe big question so far tonight is whether or not Cal Cunningham will be able to win in the North Carolina race. At the moment he has 49.2 to 47.6% lead over incumbent Richard Burr. With 55% of the the vote in, Fox News will continue to keep a close eye on the results coming in from this race.

Brett BaerIt is now 8:30, and the polls have now closed in the state of Arkansas. Presently, the race between State Senator Gilbert Baker and Incumbent Senator Blanche Lincoln is too close to call, with early results indicating a slight Baker lead. Fox News is now ready to make several more Senate Projections.

Toomey WinsIn Pennsylvania, with 65% of the vote counted, Republican Pat Toomey has been declared the winner against Democrat Arlen Spector. Toomey leads Spector 52-45%. Spector formerly a Republican, was unable to defend his choice to change in political affiliation, and issue that the Toomey campaign continually brought up. Pennsylvania is the third Republican pickup of tonight.

In New Hampshire, Republican Kelly Ayotte, the former Atorney General of the state is projected to have won. With 78% of the votes counted, she holds a 56-42 lead.

Kirk Wins Obama's SeatIn Illinois, another blow has been delt to the President, this time personally, as his former senate seat has been won by Republican Representative Mark Kirk. With 59% of the votes in, Kirk is maintaing a 52-44 lead over his challenger Democrat State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias. This is the fourth pickup for the Republicans tonight.

Kirsten Powers

8:45Marco Rubio is declared the winner of the Senate race in Florida. Rubio holds a stable 56-39 lead over Democrat challenger Kendrick Meek.

Cunningham wins in North CarolinaIn North Carolina, Democrat Cal Cunningham has defeated Senator Richard Burr with 86% of the vote in with a 50-47 lead. This is an extremely dissapointing result for the republicans has they spend several million dollars in order to help Burr win. So far tonight, Cunningham's win is the first Democrat Pickup.

Carnahan defeats Blunt8:49At 8:49 in another close race, Democrat Robin Carnahan can now be declared the winner for the senate seat held by retiring Republican Kit Bond. With 63% of the vote in, Carnahan is leading Republican Roy Blunt with 51-48. The results of this race have been extremely close for most of the hour, but Carnahan is building sizeable leads in enough counties to deny Blunt of coming back and winning. Carnahan's win puts the number of Democrat pickups to 2.

Lincoln defeated in ArkansasWelcome back to Fox News's coverage of Election Night 2010, I'm Kirsten Powers. Fox can now call the state of Arkansas for Republican Gilbert Baker. Blanche Lincoln had faced and extremely difficult campaign with attacks from both sides of the asile. Baker currently leads Lincoln 55-43% with 49% of the vote in. This is the fifth pickup for Republicans tonight, but with a net loss of two senate seats to the Democrats factored in, they have gained in total three senate seats so far.

9:00Brett BaerIt's now 9:00, and polls have closed for Senatorial contests in Colorado, Both New York Senatorial Contests, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, and South Dakota

Fox News can declare winners in 5 of these races.

In Arizona, John McCain is declared the winner against his Democrat opponent.

Todd Tiahrt has been declared the winner in Kansas. Tiarht like Hayworth expected a weak challenge by the democrats, and is expected to pull over 65% if our exit polling is correct.

In the New York A Senate race, Chuck Schumer has been declared the winner. If poll results continue, he is headed for a landslide win over his Republican opponent.

John Thune is declared the winner in South Dakota. If the Republicans manage to regain control of senate tonight, it is rumored he could be a possible contender for Senate Majority leader.

Jay Dardenne is projected by Fox News to be the winner in Louisiana. Lousiana Secretary of State Dardenne defeated incumbent David Vitter in the primary, and has proven throughout the campaign to be an effective campaigner against Democrat Charles Melancon.

The New York-B race is still too close to call, but with current voter projections in Wisconsin, Fox News calls Russ Feingold the winner in that contest. He leads Republican Terrence Wall 53-45 with 43% percent of the vote in.

9:42Norton wins in Colorado

Brett Baer

At 9:42, Fox News can project that the winner in Colorado is Frmr. Lt. Governor Jane Norton. With 48% of the results in, Norton leads Democrat Michael Bennett 57-41. This is the sixth Republican pickup of the night.

Kirsten PowersIn a close race, that originally started out as a clear Gillibrand lead, Republican Liz Feld, Mayor of Larchmont has been declared the winner of the New York Senate-B race by Fox News. With 62% of the vote in, Feld leads Gillibrand 50-48. Gillibrand's lower than average results for a Democrat in New York City are credited with a Feld win. New York-B is the Seventh Republican pickup of tonight. Presently the composition of the Senate is 51 Democrats, 46 Republicans, and 2 Independents. Whether or not Republicans will be able to pull of the number of wins necessary to regain control of the Senate remains to be seen, but if they do, the net gain would be greater than that in 1994.

Good Evening again, I'm Brett Baer here with continuing coverage of Fox News's coverage of the 2010 Mid-term elections. Right before break we called the senatorial race for the New York-B seat for Republican Liz Feld. Before we announce the next states that have closed their polls, let's take a look at the results map of Senatorial races around the country.

In Idaho, Mike Crapo has been reelected. Exit polling show a victory of over 80% of the vote.

In Iowa, Chuck Grassely is projected to have won. Democrats had hoped to have given him a competitive contest, but early results and exit polls predict a victory for him around 60%.

Dorgan defeated by Hoeven

In one of the most costly and media covered races in the nation, Fox News projects that Governor John Hoeven will have defeated incumbent Bryan Dorgan. With 18% of the vote in, Hoeven is leading Dorgan 59-36. Hoeven's win is the Republican eighth pickup of tonight.
